Review of The Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden

What It’s About

It’s hard to find an employer who doesn’t ask too many questions about in my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. It’s almost perfect. But I still haven’t met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I’m sure I hear her crying. notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I’m doing laundry. And one day I can’t help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything….

That’s when I make a promise. After all, l’ve done this before. I can protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe. Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It’s simply a question of how far I’m willing to go….

What I Liked About This Book

As the continuation of the book The Housemaid, I was afraid that this would be more of the same as the first book.

But I was pleasantly surprised when even after I already knew what to expect, Freida still was able to surprise me with the plot twist.
